Job description

Asheville Waldorf School is seeking a combined 1st/2nd Grade teacher to join our school Faculty starting July 1 to teach in our 2025/2026 school year.

Qualifications:

The ideal candidate will have completed their Waldorf Grades Training, and have experience as a teacher in a Waldorf classroom. Teachers new to Waldorf education are also welcome, if they have a serious interest in developing themselves as a Waldorf Grades teacher. We seek teachers with a deep understanding of child development, an interest in Anthroposophy, a love of working with young children, and the enthusiasm and energy to be involved in a school entering its twelfth year as the school moves to a permanent forest based location close to town and continues Waldorf accreditation.

Asheville Waldorf School:

The Asheville Waldorf School is in its thirteenth school year. This year, we offer two mixed age kindergartens, parent-child classes, and first through sixth grades.

Asheville Waldorf became an associate member of WECAN in 2017 and of AWSNA in 2018. Our organization consists of a cohesive and striving faculty, a solid board of directors, a committed administration, and a loving and involved community of parents and families.

Asheville, North Carolina:

Asheville is an ideal place to live, well known and visited for its beautiful outdoors (it is surrounded by three mountainous National Forests), its abundance of activity options that come with the landscape and ecosystem, and its rich arts, crafts, and music culture. Asheville’s many restaurants and microbreweries make it a highly sought out tourist destination. Local, sustainable agriculture is also a hallmark of this town, which supports seventeen farmers’ markets for less than 100,000 residents. If you like to eat local, organic food, participate in public music events (like community chorus), and be surrounded by art, it’s a great place to be.
